1. Make sure you have installed/updated the graphic drivers.2. You may install K-Lite Codec Pack/Player or VLC to play DVDs and video files. 3. for streaming videos you have to install flash player. Try installing Google Chrome.Hope it would fix the issue

Man you have to download the supporting mozilla firefox , internet explorer and adobe flash player.that means these softwares must support your windows vista service pack 1.but i personally advice you that you have to upgrade to windows 7 ultimate or home edition.most of the softwares supports windows 7.i think that you got the solution.

Videos on YouTube are streamed through Adobe Flash player. If you're having trouble playing and viewing videos YouTube, we suggest you install the latest version of the Flash player: this will allow you to easily play YouTube videos.Here's how to upgrade to the most recent version of Adobe's Flash Player:

Before installing the most recent version of Adobe Flash player, you will need to first uninstall any older versions of the Flash player you've installed in the past and currently have running on your computer.

Please completely uninstall the version of Flash you're currently running, before upgrading to the most recent version. To uninstall Flash, follow Adobe's instructions, listed here. You'll need to download Adobe's official Uninstaller to remove Flash.

Once you've uninstalled the older version of Flash, you'll be ready to upgrade to the most recent version of Flash. To upgrade to the most recent version of the Flash player, please follow these steps:

Once you've downloaded the latest version of Adobe Flash, please exit your browser.

Finally, click to install the update that you just downloaded to your computer from the Adobe Flash site. Once you've done so, open your browser again and go to YouTube. You should now be able so successfully watch videos!

If the instructions above don't resolve the issue, please also try the following:

Ensure other applications like Quicktime, iTunes, Real Player, or Windows Media Player aren't set as the default streaming application, as this might affect the video player.

For Windows Vista users:If the Flash uninstall / reinstall does not work this maybe due to a Microsoft Windows Vista permissions issue.
Please use the Windows button at the bottom left then the search function:

Go to: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\.

Right-click on the following file: FlashUtil9b.exe or FlashUtil9e.exe.

Select "Run as Administrator" and install the update..

Restart your computer.

Please post your feedback and vote if the issue is resolved as per your satisfaction.

Since it is only itv that seems to be having problems and checking the site myself where it reported that it was having problems instead of playing the selected clip, it is just going to be a matter of time until they resolve the issues. I don't know if it a hardware failure at their end or if they are having load problems, but chances are it is not an issue with your system.
